NXT & XPlosion

WWE NXT5.com

Your hosts are Jack Korpela & S. William Regal.

We start with Derrick Bateman and Maxine Perez...why not? Thankfully, Titus O'Neil and Percy Watson interrupt in a hurry...then emcee Matt Striker arrives to restore order, announcing Percy vs. Bateman and A.J. Lee vs. Maxine for tonight.

A.J. Lee vs. Maxine Perez: Hey, as long as Maxine's already in the ring, let's do this now. Nice finishing sequence as A.J. rolls through a rollup attempt straight into hitting the Shining Wizard for the victory.

Jimmy & Jey Uso vs. Tyler Reks & Curt Hawkins: This is a rematch from last week when Reks & Hawkins upset the Samoan brothers. The Usos show some great tandem moves in the early going...then Jimmy shocks me with a huge no-hands plancha onto Hawkins! Reks inserts himself only to take a diving clothesline off the apron from Jey...nice! A blind tag allows the heel tandem to get the advantage on Jimmy, showing some good teamwork on their own part. Jimmy low-bridges Reks out of the ring and kicks Hawkins off the apron, finally gaining the opening to tag Jey! Jey cleans house and goes to the top rope, but Reks catches him in a powerslam...for two! The heels attempt a double-team but Reks accidentally knocks Hawkins off the apron...then Jimmy blind-tags in as Reks is attemping the Burning Hammer on Jey. Jey escapes the move...double superkick! BOTH Usos go topside...and hit stereo splashes from opposite turnbuckles! Needless to say, Jimmy pins Reks after that...nicely done.

Percy Watson(w/ Titus O'Neil) vs. Derrick Bateman(w/ Maxine Perez): Percy shows off his surprising agility, but gets too fancy and gets dropkicked off the second rope by Bateman. Percy makes El Big Comeback but the OH YEAH~! Showtime Splash only gets a two-count. Bateman cuts him off with a gourdbuster, then follows up with a rough-looking somersault neckbreaker...for two. Mantastic DDT is blocked and Percy dumps him face-first to the mat, then hits a fireman's-carry Flapjack for the surprise win!

TNA XPlosion

Eric Young vs. Douglas Williams(w/ Brutus Magnus) for the T.V. Title: So the Television Title is finally defended...on XPlosion. No mention of Williams being a former titleholder. Apparently Young has vowed to not shave his beard until he wins the Heavyweight Title...that's gonna be a long beard. Total comedy match in the early going...Williams finally cuts him off by snapping the throat off the middle rope. Jeremy Borash asks Magnus(who has a title shot of his choice in waiting) if hed would challenge his partner if he were to win the belt here...hmm. Young blocks the Chaos Theory by hanging onto the turnbuckles and get the flash pin with a crucifix...easy to forget that Young is good in the ring with all his tomfoolery.
